Grey's Anatomy Life Lessons

I have always loved the beginning and end of Grey's Anatomy where meredith talks. They usually have insightful thoughts so I thought i would start writing them down as I went through the seasons. I'm going to start at the first episode and just keep going :)

 

 

Biology determines much of the way we live. From the moment we’re born, we know how to breathe and eat. As we grow older, new instincts kick in. We become territorial. We want to compete. We seek shelter. Most important of all, we reproduce. Sometimes biology can turn on us though. Yeah, biology sucks sometimes.
…
Biology says that we are who we are from birth. That our biology is set in stone, unchangeable. Our DNA doesn’t account for all of us though. We’re humans, life changes us. We develop new traits, become less territorial. We stop competing. We learn from our mistakes. We face our greatest fears. For better or worse, we find ways to become more than our biology. The risk, of course, is that we can change too much. To the point that we don’t recognize ourselves. Finding our way back can be difficult. There’s no compass, no map. We just have to close our eyes, take a step and hope to God we get there.
